Infrastructure & AI security · South Africa

The canary is the first to know.

Canarybit secures the infrastructure and data behind critical industries, and puts AI to work inside it — confidential by design, measured in production.

What we do

Four things, done properly.

Most of our clients arrive with data they cannot afford to expose and a board that wants AI in production. The two are not in conflict, if the infrastructure is built for both.

Confidential cloud

Zero-trust infrastructure

Workloads run inside trusted execution environments and are attested before they are trusted. Keys and data never leave the enclave — on-premise, in a sovereign facility or on public cloud.

  • TEE / confidential VMs
  • Remote attestation
  • Key custody
  • Sovereign hosting
Confidential AI

Models on data you cannot share

Inference and analysis on sensitive data without exposing it. Multi-party computation lets organisations use data they could not previously pool — for compliance, research or monetisation.

  • Confidential inference
  • Multi-party computation
  • Sensitive-data analysis
  • Data monetisation
AI in production

Workflows that hold

Not a pilot. We train your team on your own systems, build the first workflow to a fixed price and a measured outcome, then run it. Results in rands and hours, before and after.

  • Team training
  • First workflow, fixed price
  • ERP & Microsoft integration
  • Managed AI
People & risk

When security turns on people

Human threat intelligence, insider threat programmes and steady command in a crisis. The part of a mandate that cannot be automated, handled by people who have done it before.

  • Human threat intelligence
  • Insider threat programme
  • Crisis management
  • Governance advisory
How we work

Assess, secure, deploy, operate.

Every engagement runs the same four stages. The order matters: nothing goes into production before it is attested, and nothing is attested before we understand what it touches.

01 — Assess

What you run, and where a breach would show first

Systems, data flows, people with access. Two to four weeks. Ends with a written position, not a slide deck.

02 — Secure

Enclaves, attestation, canaries in place

Workloads moved into trusted execution, keys under custody, tripwires placed where they will speak first.

03 — Deploy

The first workflow, into production

Fixed price, fixed scope, a number agreed up front for what it should save. Your team builds alongside us.

04 — Operate

Monitored, renewed, reviewed

Attestation renewals, rule changes, incident response and a quarterly review — under a managed agreement.

Sectors

Where it applies.

Industries where the data is regulated, the infrastructure is critical, and the cost of getting it wrong is public.

Why the canary

A breach should be a signal, not a surprise.

In the mines the canary was the first to know. Ours are deliberate: decoy credentials, attestation checks and tripwires placed where an intruder would touch them first — so the first sign of trouble reaches you, not the press.

We publish no client names and no case studies. The work is done quietly, and the record stays with the client.

Strategic partners

The companies we work alongside.

Canarybit is one part of a group of independent firms that share people, judgement and a way of working. Outpost24 secures the perimeter; Canarybit protects what is inside it. Where a mandate reaches beyond either, one of the others usually picks it up.
